BROTHERLY AFFECTION
“Brotherly affection denotes that all disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ belongs to one family, the Family of God. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28) Brotherly affection crosses all human boundaries of culture, race, caste, class, clan, language, and nation. This relationship in Christ is more intimate and deeper than any other relationship of kinship in the world.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) demonstrates brotherly love which the world describes as human value. The Good Samaritan was not like the priest or Levite. His affection transcended boundaries of race, language, region, class, and religion. Christians are called to demonstrate such brotherly affection.
However, this quality is missing in churches today. People like to celebrate their personal relationship with God but ignore the fellow worshiper. Sacrificial giving for fellow brethren is a mark of Christian maturity. St. James writes that true faith is demonstrated by action; faith without demonstration of brotherly love is a dead faith.
Scripture
About this Plan
St. Peter writes that the Christian life is based on faith. However, there are seven important aspects that springs forth from the faith. This Bible plan elaborates the seven aspects. (II Peter 1:5-10)
